What Makes Solix Different? A Complete Retirement Framework

Most organizations still take an ad-hoc approach to application decommissioning — manually exporting data, shutting down servers, and hoping compliance standards are met. This leads to data loss, audit failures, and long-term risk.

Solix eliminates these challenges with a built-in, structured, repeatable framework, ensuring:

  • No data is lost

  • All compliance needs are met

  • Historical information remains accessible

  • Decommissioning becomes fast, predictable, and ROI-driven

How the Solix Application Retirement Solution Works

1. Data Ingestion & Migration

Solix supports ingestion from:

  • Databases

  • Enterprise applications (ERP, CRM, HRMS, Billing)

  • Files

  • Reports

  • Unstructured sources

The platform extracts, transforms, and loads historical data into a modern, unified repository — with zero impact on production systems.

2. Unified Data Archive on the Solix Common Data Platform (CDP)

At the core of the solution is the Solix Common Data Platform, designed to handle structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. It ensures:

  • High-performance data storage

  • Robust search capabilities

  • Strong governance

  • Long-term archiving at optimized cost

CDP offers a self-service interface where users can search, view, filter, and export historical information — without needing IT teams.

3. Intelligent Access for Business, Audit, and Legal Teams

The platform provides:

  • Full-text search across legacy datasets

  • Metadata browsing for fast navigation

  • Role-based access to ensure privacy and security

  • Report rendering to recreate legacy application reports on demand

  • APIs for integration with BI, analytics, and downstream systems

This preserves the usability of old data while eliminating old systems.

4. Governance, Compliance, and E-Discovery

Solix offers advanced governance features:

✔ Data retention & disposition policies

Ensure regulatory compliance across industries.

✔ Legal hold

Preserves critical data during investigations or litigation.

✔ E-Discovery

Helps legal teams quickly locate and export case-relevant information.

✔ Detailed audit trails

Every user action is logged for full compliance visibility.

These capabilities make Solix ideal for highly regulated industries like finance, healthcare, telecom, and government.

5. Secure Decommissioning of Legacy Systems

Once data is safely migrated and validated:

  • Servers are powered down

  • Databases are removed

  • Application licenses are freed

  • Infrastructure is retired

Organizations immediately experience:

  • Lower infrastructure costs

  • Reduced support overhead

  • Eliminated security vulnerabilities

  • Simplified IT environment
